Buick 2005 LaCrosse - Manual (Page 109)

Read the instructions completely before attempting to
program HomeLink
® . Because of the steps involved, it
may be helpful to have another person available to
assist you in the programming steps.
Keep the original hand-held transmitter for use in other
vehicles as well as for future HomeLink
® programming.
It is also recommended that upon the sale of the
vehicle, the programmed HomeLink
® buttons should be
erased for security purposes. See “Erasing HomeLink ®
Buttons” later in this section or, for assistance,
contact HomeLink
® on the Internet at:
www.homelink.com or by calling 1-800-355-3515.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door or gate operator you are programming. When
programming a garage door, it is advised to park outside
of the garage.
It is recommended that a new battery be installed in
your hand-held transmitter for quicker and more
accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
Programming HomeLink ®
Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while
programming HomeLink
® . Follow these steps to program
up to three channels:
1. Press and hold down the two outside HomeLink ®
buttons, releasing only when the HomeLink ®
indicator light begins to flash, after 20 seconds. Do
not hold down the buttons for longer than
30 seconds and do not repeat this step to program
a second and/or third hand-held transmitter to
the remaining two HomeLink
® buttons.
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter
about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the
HomeLink
® buttons while keeping the indicator light
in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the desired
HomeLink ® button and the hand-held transmitter
button. Do not release the buttons until Step 4 has
been completed.
Some entry gates and garage door openers may
require you to substitute Step 3 with the procedure
noted in “Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming” later in this section.
